It isn't a box

    • It's been years. . . And stepping back in feels like I've found a lost home 💜

    It isn't a box
    Sunlight shines through and
    laughter warms her heart.
    So don't worry, it isn't a box.

    Rain reminds her to be happy and
    the holes in the walls allow her to see all the fun.
    So don't worry, it isn't a box.

    Most mornings she wakes to find
    the walls slightly less restrictive
    and the fog not quite so suffocating.
    So don't worry, it isn't a box. 

    Her soul screams with passion and
    her heart stays kind.
    So don't worry, it isn't a box.

    Boldness runs rampant and
    her confidence remains newly blossomed.
    So don't worry, it isn't a box.

    New walls are knocked down and
    her hair stays sun-kissed.
    So don't worry, it isn't a box.

    Except a box is still a box.

    glad that there are holes in this box. though life can be suffocating. I remember a line from childhood book about a bear escaping a box" mama mama, I went to town, inside out side, upside down".

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
